The Festival of Hope is a grass roots fundraising event organized by volunteers committed to assist area cancer patients during the treatment process
The company and employees have been involved with Festival of Hope since the beginning in 2003. Whether the company name was Orcom, Alliance Data, Vertex and now under Fanuiel - they have continued to be involved and hold fundraisers throughout the year to support Festival of Hope. The employees also have a Booth at the event and have every year since it started. Not only do they raise money, but their employees are involved not only with their in-house campaign, but employees have been involved with critical parts of the Event. Linda MacKickan was in charge of the "Wall of Hope" before moving out of the area, Cindy Green & Gay Gentry are in charge of the Live Butterflies - they order the butterflies, have them delivered to their home on Friday and then prepare them for release on Saturday by putting them in the cages & feeding them until the time of the release.
